Article Dicussion: Is Object Class, the Root of all Hierarchies?

Since you are declaring the ifoo object of type IFoo equal to an existing Foo object that is already instantiated and since the Foo object is defined as a class, which automatically inherits from the Object class, aren't the results you are reporting expected?

You are assigning the ifoo object a reference to the f object. The fact that the Foo class inherits from an interface instead of another class doesn't change the fact that it IS a class and still automatically inherits from the Object class from what I can tell.

Is it that obvious to anyone else here? Have I just not had enough coffee this morning and I'm missing something profound here?

I'm with you Skoon.. Even though my view is from a Java standpoint, it's still obvious that whether or not a class is explicity extended from the class Object, it's still a child of Object.
